The Software Archive is designed to preserve and provide access to all kinds of rare or difficult to find, legally downloadable software titles and background information on those titles.
The collection includes a broad range of software related materials including shareware, freeware, video news releases about software titles, speed runs of actual software game play, previews and promos for software games, high-score and skill replays of various game genres, and the art of filmmaking with real-time computer game engines.
Software has been collected from over 1,500 Shareware CD-ROMs, providing millions of shareware programs for download. The DEMU collection has gathered over 4,000 classic PC-based games from a quarter century.Check out the Internet Archive blog post about the USGS collection.
